well worth a visit - We had a great day out here. We were running late for the lamb feeding and called ahead but they were very understanding. The staff are fantastic. We booked for the lamb feeding. They happily answered any questions and taught the kids how to make up the bottles. the kids were just in amazed with the lambs, They were happy for us to sit with the lambs and have cuddle after too. Its quite small but a wholesome day out with mudkitchens, tyre swings and outdoor play area. We will be back.

Great trip to Jackson’s - We visited the farm at the weekend and booked the lamb feeding. It was a great day, such a lovely farm, I love that we got feed for the animals and my boys loved feeding the lambs. Credit to the whole family, who are all involved.

Lamb feeding - We had a great day out feeding the lambs. All of the staff were welcoming and excellent with the girls. They took their time explaining the feeding process and they enjoyed making the formula for the bottles. They had so much fun feeding the lambs and spending time with them and the mischievous calf. Unfortunately the weather was dreadful and we couldn’t take advantage of all the farm had to offer but will return in drier weather.

Wonderful, wet day out! - What a lovely day out, even though it rained all day it was still enjoyable. I received an email the day before given warning about the condition of the ground due to the recent bad weather, that was helpful as I was prepared for the mud! Easy to find, and sign posted when you get to Jedburgh. On arrival the lovely Abby at check in was so friendly, put my very anxious boy at ease. We had a self guided walk around the farm, feeding the animals as we went. Picnic tables under cover for lunch were very useful. Hand washing facilities too. When it was time for feeding the lambs the staff were so knowledgeable. You get to mix up your own powdered milk as the staff chat you through some fun facts about the lambs, sheep and in general the working farm. It’s very relaxed. I’ll definitely be returning for a summer visit!

Brilliant family run farm - Absolutely brilliant. Can see how they end up sold out really quickly.
Such a lovely family run farm, small but intimate and ideal for families. Our girls had the best day and we can't wait to come again. A true gem

Fun family farm day - Great day out with 6 year old despite awful Scottish weather. Highlights were holding the lambs and feeding the Goats and Highland Cow. Need to book early for lamb feeding but that also looked great fun.

Amazing - Hi. Just wanted to say thank you for our lovely morning in feeding the lambs. It was honestly so wonderful. The rain didn't put us off. We got cosey with a cuppa there and also when we left. It was such a wonderful experience and all staff were extremely kind. Wishing myself and my little boy a happy birthday. Fenwick was very kind and lovely to chat with. We just had the best time and can't wait to visit again when the weather's better to stay and play. Xx

Worth a visit and Beth at the front desk was so welcoming and friendly. - Excellent day. Granddaughter really enjoyed the visit. Beth at the front desk was so welcoming and very helpful. Feeding the lambs was the highlight of my granddaughter’s day. She loved the goats and the chickens too. Worth a visit.
